The poem "A Dream Deferred" by Langston Hughes lays out what happens to dreams when they are postponed.

The original title of the poem was "Harlem", a place regarded as the capital of "African-American" culture in the USA;

the title was changed to take in all dreams in general, although especially "The African American Dream" and the consequences of procrastinate them, thus the poem was made to help people live the lives they dream of having.

Thereby, the best answer is (A).
